Once inside, Malik closed the door and activated the room's advanced security systems, ensuring that their conversation would remain private.
"Ethan, what brings you here on such short notice?" Malik asked, his voice filled with curiosity and concern.
Ethan took a seat at the head of the table, his presence commanding the attention of everyone in the room. "There's a new player in our game, someone who could disrupt everything we've worked for," he began, his tone grave. "His name is Bruce, and he's recently become involved with one of my top researchers, Adam."
He paused, letting the gravity of his words sink in. "I need to know everything about him, his background, his capabilities, his weaknesses. I suspect he has motives that could undermine our objectives, and we cannot afford to be caught off guard."
